MKIV.COM (the oem traction control system kind of sucks so it's double-win) On a euro-spec, I believe it's a little more difficult. From what I understand, you need to purchase a speed limiter removal 'black box' from HKS: HKS Speed Limit Defencer (Type I)

i'd say its the same as the us-spec one then. is there any reason why it is limited to 155mph / 250km/h anyway? maybe so it's harder to over rev / blow / damage the engine??? thnx anyway

I suspect it's related to insurance rates and/or import regulations...
